Christmas is Coming

Couple of Christmas bits to get ya in the spirit: We have a link to Planet Christmas as well as the tech details and even some danger. This thing features 96,790 miniature Christmas lights, 7.2 miles of wire to connect everything, 110 strobe lights, the 8' inflatable snowmen, handled by 425 computer controlled circuits. A slightly less ambitious project was submitted by apago. This project lets winamp control christmas lights, complete with schematics for the serial interface and source code for the plugin.

Has everyone forgotten the Dec 25 Birthday?

[Dimensio]

All this talk of finding new ways of being flashy and new during the holidays and so little talk of the important birthday celebrated on December 25. Really, would it kill you to pay some respect to the very important individual whose birth is celebrated yearly on that one day of the year?

I mean honestly, you all give each other gifts but I, the birthday boy, don't get so much as a card from you!

That's right ... And by golly people ... we need to go back to our churches, and our religious leaders, because we've forgotten what christmas is really all about!!!
